This one crucial tip for beginner plein air landscape painters will help you improve immediately. I share an important skill that every successful plein air painter understands but beginners struggle with.
Some other takeaways from this beautiful Colorado fall plein landscape adventure:

☑#1: Don't paint things by name. Unlearn the names of objects.
☑#2: Paint objects as shapes. Paint the correct color, value and temperature in the right place.
☑#3: Step back from your painting and see every large shape as connected.

Keep watching, and I'll see you in the mountains!


(I have been formally trained through an apprenticeship in the style of Russian Impressionism with veteran plein air painter Don Sahli, won awards for my plein air paintings, and have successfully sold paintings in galleries, shows, and private commissions all over the USA.)
